With a sudden slash of an axe, a woman named Joan is decapitated on a desolate beach at midnight. In a hellish laboratory hidden below the boardwalk Freak Emporium, Dr. Durea (a.k.a. Dr. Frankenstein!) drains the blood of corpses to distill an all-powerful serum. Count Dracula craves the new serum and offers the doctor the hulking body of the original Frankenstein monster in exchange. With a blast of spine-tingling electricity they shock the monster to life and send him on a killing spree for fresh victims. Joan s sister sets out to find her missing sibling and becomes a hostage in Dr. Durea s torture chamber. In her efforts to escape, she falls into Dracula s clutches and witnesses the monster mash of the millennium as the Frankenstein monster and Count Dracula clash in a gut-wrenching, limb-ripping, gruesome brawl to the bloody end! DRACULA VS. FRANKENSTEIN features an all-star cast of veteran genre greats: Lon Chaney Jr. (THE WOLF MAN, ABBOTT & COSTELLO MEET FRANKENSTEIN, SPIDER BABY) in one of his final performances, J. Carrol Naish (the BATMAN serial, HOUSE OF FRANKENSTEIN), Anthony Eisley (THE NAKED KISS, THE WITCHMAKER), Regina Carrol (SATAN S SADISTS, ANGEL S WILD WOMEN, BLAZING STEWARDESSES), Russ Tamblyn (WEST SIDE STORY, THE HAUNTING) and pint-sized Angelo Rossito (MAD MAX BEYOND THUNDERDOME, Tod Browning s FREAKS)! The film also famously features the iconic laboratory props and equipment from the original FRANKENSTEIN and BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN designed by Ken Strickfaden!
